Jun 17, 2022
In my opinion the best surgeon is one who can complete successfully a difficult surgery with very little idea of what to expect going in . Dr Garofalo did that for us today ! Amazing ! I was promptly informed of all that had occurred, all my questions were answered clearly and concisely. Excellent surgeon.
